NCT04542746

Brief Summary

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the impact of surgical flap design on the healing of intrabony defects treated by means periodontal regeneration. Forty patients were enrolled and allocated random in two groups. Patients of test group received a minimally invasive surgical flap , while patients of control group received a conventional access flap. In both group the intrabony were treated by means the same periodontal regeneration procedure (i.e application of enamel matrix derivative). Periodontal parameters were recoded at baseline and after 12-months observation time.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Clinical attachment level gain ( CAL gain)

    Vertical measure from the cement enamel junction to the bottom of the defect.

    At 12 months

Study Arms (2)

Minimally invasive surgical technique

EXPERIMENTAL

The intra-bony defects of subjects allocated in test group were treated with a combination of minimally invasive surgical technique (MIST) and enamel matrix derivative( EMD).

Procedure: Minimally invasive surgical technique

Conventional open flap debridement with papilla preservation

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The intra-bony defects of control group were treated using a combination of conventional open flap debridement with papilla preservation (COFD+PP) and EMD.

Procedure: Minimally invasive surgical technique

Interventions

After local anesthesia , for the sites of test group , a minimally invasive surgical technique (MIST) will be performed. The defects associated inter-dental papilla will be surgically approached with a diagonal incision following the pattern of the simplified papilla preservation flap. Flap elevation was to the buccal and oral aspect in the interdental space, An enamel matrix derivative (EMD) was applied into the defect.f A primary closure of the interdental papillae will be achieved using a 5-0 monofilament non resorbable suturing material.
